Talash

wo bachcha kahan hai
jo kah de ki hazrat-salamat

ye sab log malbus-e-shahi ka iqrar karte rahen
mujh ko to aap nange nazar aa rahe hain

wo bachcha jo itni purani kahani mein zinda chala aa raha hai
hamare watan mein bhi hoga

hamare watan mein bhi hoga
Dari aur sahmi magar phir bhi jari ye aawaz dil chirti hai

hamare watan mein bhi hoga
hamare watan mein bhi hoga

main darbariyon mein to kya naukaron ke jilau mein bahut dur baiTha
libas-e-shahi ka madah-KHwan to ab bhi nahin

ishaaron kinayon
alamat se ya KHurafat se

kuchh na kuchh nazm mein kuchh na kuchh nasr mein baDbaData raha hun
magar wan bhi yan ka ye afsana sab ko sunata raha hun

wo 'ghaalib' na ho aur 'jalib' rahe phir bhi aisa hi bachcha
hamare watan mein bhi hai

aur rahega
